Hi,
I think your blog is awesome!
We have 12 children, 6 boys and 6 boys! We would welcome any more children that God would bless us with. I am going to be 42, and our last child born was 2 1/2 years ago. We are praying about the possibility of adopting a group of brothers and sisters now!
We have 5 boys and one precious little girl. And Counting......
My husband and I are expecting our 4th right now. Most of my side of the family is small, but my husband's great-grandma (I think) gave birth to 24.
My husband and I have 16 children and counting.....
We are so grateful to the Lord for blessing us with all our beautiful children!!!! We are praying the Lord will bless our family again.
I have 6 siblings. So there is 9 people in my family ;)
77 in my family. Mom, 12 children, 11 spouses, 51 grandchildren, 1 grandchild's spouse and 1 great grandchild. (Dad's in heaven) All 12 children are from the same Dad and Mom.
We have 4 children and praying for more!
At my parents house, we were 4 (I have three sisters). Now that I'm married, I have 2 kids (they are almost the same ages of Mackynzie and Michael). I don't want to have kids for a while (health and financial problems), but maybe I will have more kids in the future. I would like to have 5 (maybe 7?) kids, but I'm not sure if I will ever get there... I love kids, but they are a lot of hard work!
4 daughters and 3 sons, plus 2 in heaven. I'm 41, my youngest is 8 months old, so we'll see if there are more...They'd certainly be welcome! We love our children, and each one has taught us so much.
Sheila, Mama to Seven (and a closet hermit, believe it or not)
3 sons, 4 daughters, plus 2 in heaven. I'm 41, our youngest is 8 months old. We'd gladly welcome more... :)
my father has 18 childer of which i am the youngest....most of my siblings have 2-3 children each
I was the 5th of 8, unfortunate my oldest brother passed away from cancer, my husband is the 4th of 12, we are 26 and have 2 kids so far! My kids already have almost 40 first cousins! My parents were also from big families 7 and 9 and all of them married and have between 5 and 15 kids, and their children have lots of kids, so I have 100,s of first and second cousins, my great aunt had 18 , and hundreds of grandchildren and great! So big families aren't such a suprise to me but its still amazing how much work just one child is and even more amazing is how a mother can go through pregnancy and birth etc again and again!
10 in all! 8 kids, 2 parents!
Sometimes i wish it wasnt like tha. Does anyone else?
7 kids......catching up!!!! Haha just kidding. I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters and im a girl. So It goes girl, boy, girl, girl (ME), girl, boy, boy. I am the exact middle child. Creepy right?
we've got 8! ;)
6 kids 2 parents
I have four younger brothers :)

I have 2 brothers but I have 380 relatives in Italy.
I have 7 other family members. 5 consist of my older brother,Josh, my 3 older sister's,Sarah, Rebecca & Hannah,& my younger twin sister, then my 2 parents
I am the oldest of 8. i have 4 sisters and 3 brothers. There is a year between us. I'm also a mother of 2 gorgeous little boys and aunt to 1 niece and 1 nephew =) x
Just me and my brother, but that was more than enough for me, haha. We live (or rather, I lived) in a regular row house with 3 bedrooms. When the attic was converted into a bedroom for my brother my dad took the little one next to mine as a studio. Now that I moved out he's converted mine into the studio (it's bigger) and turned the little one into a guest room.
My husband and I have 8 children (ages 12 years old - 11 months) and one on the way. We live in CA where big families are rare!
I am the middle child with an older brother, and a younger sister and mom and dad :-) I'm only twelve but ya........... :-)
God bless

I am #2 of 5 living siblings (3 boys, 2 girls). If you include all of my siblings in Heaven, then there is a total of 21 children (many, many miscarriages), and I would technically be #8.
There are 7 in my family. I WISH WE HAD MORE!!! :(
We have 8 kids , four girls, four boys expecting 9th and two in heaven....
i myself have two children boy and a girl.
my mom has 3 children including me, my father has 10 children myself included.
my fathers mother had 13 children, and 7 had been sent to heaven before they were due, my mothers family has 2, my mom and her sister. we have a large family, sprea about a lot of places.
between my mom and my dad (they are divorced) there are 13 children, my ad has 10 children and my mom has 3, including me.
i myself have 2 children
I have two brothers and one sister. Counting my parents, there are six of us. Also, a set of twins went home with the Lord before any of us were born.
My wife and I don't have kids and we don't any.Not eveyone is called by God to be a parent.Suppose this makes us bad christians?
I am the youngest of 3. I personally can't have children of my own, but I am the best aunt a kid ever had!
My parents have 5 kids. 3 boys and 2 girls. I am in the middle. The ages are{from oldest to youngest}..16{girl},15{boy},14{girl},8{boy},and 4{boy}. I am 14 :)
I am the 6th of 9 kids, my husband is the 3rd of 6 kids and then his dad remarried a women with 13! We together have only 3 (we are done, we got married much later in life), but our children will have many cousins. As will the Duggar kids!!
We have 7 children + 2 in heaven and currently we are care taking 3 other children whom have come from a horrific background of violence and abuse of all kinds. All up that is 14 including hubby and I.
Only 2, my husband and I, we also believe every child is a gift and would welcome as many children as God sees fit to send us. Unfortunately I am infertile and we are not in a position to be able to foster or adopt. I struggle greatly with this but believe God has His reasons.
